GolfBusinessNews.com, or ‘GBN’ as many people refer to it, is for the many thousands of people who work in the golf business all around the world.

We cover the full range of topics both on and off the course. We aim to supply essential information both quickly and accurately in a format which is easy to use. We are independent of all special interest groups.

There is a well-organised news section which is updated daily and contains the latest golf business stories as they happen. Readers can follow all the breaking news in strict date order or concentrate on the topics that interest them most: Company Announcements, Course Development, New Products, Properties for Sale, Growing the Game, Golf Travel, People in the News and so on. Readers can use social media to forward links to our stories to their friends and colleagues.

Our twice-weekly Newsletter ensures that all subscribers receive a comprehensive check-list of everything that we publish, while our frequently updated lists of the most-read stories is a way of keeping up with all the issues that have attracted attention across the whole golf business.

The searchable news archive is a hugely valuable resource containing all the stories that we have published over the last fifteen years or so. You can search for names and key words using either the search boxes or the ‘tags’ that are associated with every story.

GBN readers are invited to post comments on the stories and also to participate in our regular industry surveys. Two-way communication is positively encouraged.

The Golf Owners Operators and Developers (‘GOOD’) Directory contains details of golfing organisations and associations and an interactive Suppliers Guide containing nearly 5,000 entries under product/service headings which give comprehensive contact information including social media. The ‘Search’ function can be used to look for specific companies and members of a particular organisation like the European Institute of Golf Course Architects (EIGCA), the Golf Consultants Association (GCA) etc.

Enter the name of the person, place, organisation or topic for which you are searching. Use as many words as required - there is no need to enclose them in quotation marks. Prefixing a search term with a hyphen/minus-sign will exclude results matching that term.

For example 'artificial -turf' will return results containing 'artificial' but not 'turf'.

In each month and year listed below every article that has ever appeared in golfbusinessnews is reproduced in reverse date order.
